Asus described its new Zenbook in three words -- fast, slim, and beautiful. "Asus ZenBook is lighter, slimmer and faster than other notebooks in its class to give you the unmatched power and all-day portability you need to conquer your day. And when other glossy notebooks show more glare than what's actually on the screen, ASUS ZenBook always shines through even the sunniest days."
The new device boasts of its 0.5 inches girth. Plus it also weighs less at only 2.6 pounds. It has an ultra-sharp 13.3 inch Full HD in-plane switching (IPS) display that provides 1920 x 1080 resolution, with an anti-glare matte.
"ZenBook UX305 is unlike any Ultrabook out there that makes a statement of individuality with sophistication. It's laser-edged, concentric circle pattern is inspired by a circular clock for a timeless design, and the aluminum unibody adds form to functionality as it travels with you weightlessly throughout the day. Complemented with world class innovation inside as well as out, there's power beckoning behind every pixel of the display and every press of the key," Asus says.
